Hi Rodrigo, I think the proper way to do this is to override those formats in your translation yaml files (config/locales). For reference of what the keys are take a look at http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_view/locale/en.yml#L7-9 You'll notice that those I18n keys are used in the number helpers like in `number_with_delimiter` here: http://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/number_helper.rb#L209
You'll have to create a file like `config/locales/pt-BR.yml` and at the very least add those number I18n keys for separator and delimiter. -Brian On Jun 25, 2010, at 6:31 AM, Rodrigo Rosenfeld Rosas wrote: > What is the suggested path for dealing with number formats in Rails? > > Even if we set locale to pt-BR, for instance, if the user inputs a number > like '1.000,00' or '1000,00' in a form input, numerical validation will yield > an 'invalid_number' error, even though this is a valid format in Brazil. > > I could monkey patch overriding parse_raw_value_as_a_number to replace '.' > with '' and ',' with '.' in ActiveModel::Validations::NumericalityValidator > but that wouldn't solve the problem because the application is > internationalized.
